Abstract
Study on comparative gene mapping is one of the
alternative approaches to easily locate the genes among the
related species using the DNA sequences or probes derived
from well-explored species. This would also enable to
understand better the conservation of divergence of known
sequences and thereby help determine the evolutionary
lineage between them. Among the species in family
Bovidae, lots of molecular and cytogenetic investigations
have been carried out in cattle, unlike in other related species
such as buffalo. MHC class I sequences had already been
regionally assigned using isotopic in situ hybridization in
cattle (Fries et al. 1986).
